Well, I don't get it (but then there are lots of things I do not get :) I liked
some of the feature that are there, but I can't help but compare it to
oss4lib--with less projects and news.
But what is further interesting to me is that when I followed the links to the
report from the October meeting DLF convened it says that this is what they were
going to do. And so that they did it isn;t so surprising as why they thought
they needed to reinvent the oss4lib wheel. As those using free and open source
software in libraries is a small audience, it doesn't make sense to me to
fracture it with sites that duplicate content. Maybe some of the new features
are needed, but that is a reason to update oss4lib (with its 3-4 years of
building a name) and not to start from scratch.
Oh well, we library-types often put our efforts into misguided areas (at least i
do--starting with getting that MLIS ;-)
